Bus number 15 runs past the turn-off to Fayaz Tepe, from where it is a 1 km walk without shade.
In 1968, a sculpture of Buddha made of alabaster was found in the dunes by Absadom Beknaev, which was later transferred to the local history museum.
Fayaztepa consists of three monumental structures: a temple in the central part, a monastery in the northwest, and utility buildings in the southeast.
[7][9] One distinctive feature is an unusual stupa located not in the central part but outside the area, parallel to the sacred altar.
[13] The temple courtyard is in the shape of a rectangular polygon, measuring 33x20 meters, with doors to the monks' rooms on all four sides.
[7][8] Inside the courtyard is a large continuous hall, with its walls adorned with colorful paintings, preserved only on its lower parts.
The rooms on the monastery's grounds housed monks and students, while dormitories for pilgrims were located in classrooms and offices.
Thus, monks, their students, and pilgrims offered their prayers in the central part of the temple when religious events were temporarily paused.
From the site were recovered numerous Buddhist frescoes and reliefs, now mostly located in the State Museum of History of Uzbekistan in Tashkent.
